Generation of alkoxyalkynylketenes from a bicyclic precursor. Cycloaddition chemistry with alkynes and theoretical studies regarding the formation of five- versus six-membered ring products

چکیده
A bicyclic [2.2.2]octadiene framework in which the ethano bridge contains a carbonyl group, an alkynyl and a trimethylsiloxy or hydroxy group has been utilized to generate alkoxyalkynylketenes via a retro-Diels-Alder reaction under relatively mild conditions (138 °C). This is an outstanding result since the retro-Diels-Alder reaction of [2.2.2]bicyclic compounds proceeds quantitatively but at unusually high temperatures (>500°C). The ketenes generated undergo [2+2] cycloadditions to alkynes in a sequence of events that lead to the formation of fiveor six-membered ring products. We show using quantum chemical calculations that formation of fiveor six-membered rings in the overall process is a function of the substituents on the alkynes used to trap the ketenes.

Photoreactions of bicyclic aziridines with alkenes and alkynes: a novel synthetic methodology for 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivatives.
The photochemical C-C bond cleavage of bicyclic aziridines 7 and subsequent [3 + 2] cycloaddition with electron-deficient alkenes and alkynes afforded the novel head-to-head adducts selectively and efficiently. The adducts contain the naturally occurring 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton (e.g. tropane alkaloids). The aziridine 8 fused with a 6-membered ring also afforded the cycloadducts but i...
متن کاملFused ring aziridines as a facile entry into triazole fused tricyclic and bicyclic heterocycles.
The intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of an azide with an alkyne has provided a useful entry into triazole fused tricyclic heterocycles containing both the triazole ring and the oxazolidin-2-one ring system. The requisite azido-alkynes have been prepared via a two-step sequence from fused ring aziridines. A series of 6-12 membered rings containing both the oxazolidinone and triazole rings ha...

Background and Objectives: Transition metal complexes possess a variety of biological and pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and free radical scavenging. Many studies have been carried out on platinum-based chemotherapy agents, however, most attention has been paid to non-platinum metal-based agents in order to find different metal comp...

Anti-Bredt alkenes, bicyclic molecules that contain a bridgehead double bond, were for many years regarded as chemical curiosities. The type 2 intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction provides a one-step entry into this fascinating class of molecules. The reaction has made available numerous anti-Bredt alkenes for structural and chemical studies. X-ray crystallography has revealed the magnitu...
